Alliance MMA Settles Class Action Litigation

March 13, 2018 08:05 AM Eastern Daylight Time

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alliance MMA, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMMA) today announced that it has agreed to
settle and resolve a stockholder class action lawsuit initially filed in
April 2017 against Alliance, certain of its current and former officers
and directors, and the underwriter in Alliance’s initial public offering
completed in October 2016. The class action settlement is subject to
District Court approval. If approved by the District Court, the
settlement will lead to a dismissal of all claims against the defendants
in the litigation.

Under the terms of the settlement, the settlement amount attributable to
Alliance will be covered in full by its D&O insurer. Alliance’s sole
financial responsibility with respect to the settlement will be to pay
costs and expenses up to the policy deductible amount of $250,000, of
which it has already paid $137,761 in the form of legal fees.

"Given the circumstances in which Alliance found itself, we couldn’t be
more pleased with the outcome," said Bob Mazzeo, CEO of Alliance. “While
it remains our view that Alliance did not violate any laws in conducting
its initial public offering, settling this case on the terms agreed by
the parties is clearly in the best interests of our stockholders.”

“This settlement represents a fresh start for Alliance and provides the
new management team with a renewed opportunity to leverage our
relationships and build strategic partnerships that we believe will help
drive revenues for years to come. At the same time, we will continue
implementing our plan to streamline the operation of the business and
reduce our expenses as we advance toward profitability."
